Tombstone tells the story of how Earp and Holiday met and the resulting battles they had to face in the old west.  It tackles the tough real story of Doc Holiday's tuberculosis struggle in his waning days. It shows love, anger, revenge and family on the old wild west.  Great stuff.  Check it out !!!
